Republican candidate for Senate in Virginia : Tim Kaine is antifa, with a #WalkAway Russian propaganda hash tag added in for good measure. Tim Kaine is a corny Dad, accusing him of being antifa is just bad faith crazytown. Here's the link, I'm not inlining something that stupid : bit.ly/2MfV0bB

Republicans, why do former aids need hush money, and why is the WH having people sign NDA's?

Why does Your Republican Party draw white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Holocaust deniers to its party?? Racial animus helped fuel the rise of Donald Trump. Since the end of the civil rights movement and under Republican strategist Lee Atwater’s “Southern strategy” that used racism as an unstated cudgel against Democrats, the Republican Party itself has played a welcoming host to racial tensions and fears. Simultaneously, it has depicted itself, as conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby put it in 2012, as “the party of color-blind equality and “a party that doesn’t think with its skin.” www.vox.com/2018/7/9/17525860/nazis-russell-walker-arthur-jones-republicans-illinois-north-carolina-virginiaBut in the year since Charlottesville, Republicans in Congress have increasingly turned a blind eye to the president’s racial animus. They also appear to have lost interest in a host of urgent policy issues related to racial inequity: enforcing the Voting Rights Act, reforming the criminal justice system, finding a real fix on immigration. Meanwhile, their party’s candidates exhibit ever more blatant racism. Seth Grossman, a Republican nominee for Congress in New Jersey, has called the idea of diversity “a bunch of crap.” Corey Stewart, the Senate nominee from Virginia, flaunts his ties to an organizer of the Charlottesville rally and displays the Confederate flag at his campaign events. Arthur Jones and John Fitzgerald, House nominees in Illinois and California, respectively, are proud Holocaust deniers. www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-williams-charlottesville-gop-racism-20180812-story.html

The leader of Your Republican Party called a woman a dog today. Own it. Not just any woman, but the highest ranking black woman in the White House. Imagine the low-IQ tweet will come out before the end of the week.

^ He already tweeted that she was "not smart" Yesterday or the day before...
We don't need a tape of the President saying the N-word to know he's a bigot and Republicans don't care, but the back and forth on this tape is something to see... Also a reminder that in the Trump orbit everyone is a liar, because lying is part of the job description...
I guess Omarosa was smarter than the rest since she has tapes verifying her claims...

Trump saying that word is a cause for celebration for his supporters. Finally, they’ve got a guy in office who will say what they all think. I don’t know why anyone thinks this will turn the tide against him.

I don’t know why anyone thinks this will turn the tide against him. It won't. The Trump cultists well be even more enthused. As long as they continue to "support his agenda".

To be fair, you'll also have those that will say they're very much opposed to Trump's racism all the while tolerating/ignoring it for their perceived "greater good" whatever that happens to be for them. Granted, the "greater good" for some will include the fact that he's a racist.

I’d still like one of the trump supporters explain to me how they are not racist despite supporting a racist president, racist administration, who are carrying out a racist agenda. Their desire for a whiter America is obvious, I wish they’d just admit it rather than pretend they are supporting law and order or whatever nonsense they use to deflect the truth.

Their desire for a whiter America is obvious, I wish they’d just admit it rather than pretend they are supporting law and order or whatever nonsense they use to deflect the truth. Not a Trump supporter (I voted for John Kasich, who got a mighty 4% of the vote in the primary), but the best analogy to this was given by Salena Zito of the Atlantic: Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally, while opponents take him literally but not seriously. More should take him literally and seriously. Does every Republican out there want to repeal the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment? Of course not, but the 80 percent that say they support him see him as a provocateur. A coal miner in West Virginia or a farmer in Wisconsin has no friends in Washington, so when they see the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton living the good life, they aren't happy. Wall Street and Silicon Valley may be paved with gold, but places like Youngstown and Buffalo and Terre Haute are destitute. Trump is that TV character that is sticking it to the elite even if he is one of them, of course. They are willing to ignore the personal nonsense in order to afflict the comfortable. The other 20% of Republicans see him as an empty vessel at best and at worst an aspiring Recep Erdogan, with very little actually governing going on. However, they fear that if they speak up, state television (FNC) will drum them out of office. Every 20-24 years or so, America toys around with populism, but have only elected two--Andrew Jackson and Donald Trump. You can almost draw a line through history: 1896: William Jennings Bryan 1924: Robert LaFollette 1948: Strom Thurmond 1968: George Wallace 1992: Ross Perot 2016: Donald Trump Trump is the modern day "Lonesome Rhodes", a character created by TV and ultimately defeated by it. The 1957 movie "A Face In the Crowd" (featuring a sinister character played by a young Andy Griffith) showed how it might end this time around:

If you take him literally, he's a racist. If you take him seriously, he's a racist. Regardless how you take him, he breaks up families and locks children in cages. I'm not sure that answered the ask.

I am careful to distinguish three words: prejudice, bigotry, and racism. They are distinct and different. A person exhibits racial prejudice when they judge another individual as a result of race, with neither understanding nor awareness. A person exhibits racial bigotry when they are intolerant of someone else as a result of race that differs from their own. A person is racist when they maintain that racial differences produce an inherent superiority over others. Trump checks the box on the first two but skirts the line of the third. Maybe there's a tape out there, maybe not, but in today's culture, once that line is crossed, there is no return. For some of the younger readers, this video below was that kind of moment, when someone ended a 45 year career in baseball just under two minutes.

For example: "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control." Trump at first denied the remarks, but later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that "the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true."

"Well, he's prejudiced and he's a bigot. But he might not be a racist!"
Congrats, Republicans. This is your leader.
